Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Listening to Aunt Wang's words, Lu Qingqing chuckled and said that she likes to eat and there are many things in the house. As long as they work hard, she, the master, will not treat people like them harshly.

"Alas! Master, don't worry, the slaves are not stupid. Where can such a good master find such a good life? If he refuses to do it, it will be unreasonable."

Although Aunt Wang's words were simple, she also racked her brains to show her loyalty to her master.

The working people have also attracted many villagers to watch these two days. Xu Da also came here today after hearing the villagers' comments.

Seeing that several people in the field were very energetic, they all came forward curiously to inquire: "What are you planting?"

Aunt Wang's man, Wu Shan, raised his head, wiped the thin sweat from his face with his sleeve and replied: "Nothing, the master asked me to grow some rare things called potatoes."

After hearing this, Xu Da was startled at first, and then he confirmed again in shock, could this be the life-saving food that the emperor ordered to spread throughout the Yuan Dynasty, that lump of earth?

Wu Shan nodded naively. He also heard his master talk about it later.

Xu Da couldn't stay any longer at this moment, so he turned around and ran towards Zhuangzi. On the way, he happened to meet the master and servant Lu Qingqing who was walking back.

"Mrs. Lu, wait."

With a puzzled look on her face, she stood still on the roadside.

"Hu... Lu... Mrs. Lu, can you teach the villagers how to grow the soil lumps planted in the fields? People in the village have planted them before. They are seeds distributed by the government. But it doesn’t work well no matter what.”

Xu Da sighed softly as he spoke. The village was really too poor. Just relying on fishing to make a living was still too risky.

"This is what happened!"

Xu Da was heartbroken when he heard this, but when he heard Lu Qingqing's words behind him, he was stunned.

"Village Chief Xu? Village Chief Xu?" Biyun saw the stunned man and waved his hands and shouted.

After reacting, Xu Da's face was full of surprise and he thanked Lu Qingqing repeatedly.

She didn't expect that such a small request would make Xu Da happy for a while, and then she heard Xu Da talk about how there weren't many people in this small fishing village.

But all the young people have gone out to work, and the remaining old ones, young and old, have no choice but to go to sea to make a living, but going to sea is always dangerous.

Listening to Xu Da's sigh, Lu Qingqing understood their difficulties, and then said that the potatoes could be given to them for free, and some of the seeds were also provided to them at half price.

The rest is up to them to take care of.

Xu Da said with thanks on his face, saying that they didn't need much. After all, they didn't have any fields, which was just a small vegetable patch beside their own yard.

"It's okay. I can also provide some other vegetable seeds. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely gain something."

Moreover, Lu Qingqing also discovered new business opportunities. The fishermen on the beach could easily pick up a lot of oysters. In the previous life, these were the raw materials for oyster sauce!

She told Xu Da about her idea of ​​harvesting oysters. At first, Xu Da thought she was just eating them, but kindly reminded her that it was not good for pregnant women to eat too much.

"No, I have my own uses. Village Chief Xu can say hello to the villagers. Zhuangzi collects these, and they must be cleaned and without shells. They cost five cents a pound."

Xu Da's eyes lit up when he heard this. The price was not low, and he agreed excitedly. He also knew enough not to ask what it was for.

It's just a piece of food that goes into your mouth.

After that, he said goodbye to Lu Qingqing and went to tell the villagers the good news.

Looking at his running back, even the slightly hunched back seemed to straighten up.

"Master, would you like me to accompany you to the beach?"

Biyun looked at the clear sky in the distance and asked the master beside him.

Lu Qingqing withdrew her gaze and nodded. The master and servant chatted while walking. Biyun asked in confusion why the master wanted to collect those oysters. Are there many oysters on the beach after the tide goes out?

"That is of great use, you will know it later, and because it is not dangerous and can make money, just be your master and want to do some good deeds."

Lu Qingqing stroked her slightly rounded belly and said with a slight smile.

At this time, there were many children on the beach picking up some fish and shrimps washed ashore by the sea. When they saw Lu Qingqing's master and servant, they all dropped what they were holding and ran over.

"Sister Qingqing, are you here?"

"Sister Xia Yun isn't here?"

Several children gathered around Lu Qingqing, chattering and asking. Biyun deliberately made a fierce face and said: "Why didn't Sister Xia Yun come? Wouldn't Sister Biyun welcome her when she came?"

When several children saw Biyun asking this question, they giggled and looked at each other.

"Everyone is welcome, Sister Biyun."

After hearing their answers, Biyun reached out and took out a handful of maltose and handed it to several people with a smile on her face.

Following this group of children, Master and Servant Lu Qingqing also came to a reef area.

"Sister Qingqing has the most oysters here, and many of them are very big."

Several children rushed to shout.

Lu Qingqing put her hand on her forehead and looked towards that place. There were indeed quite a few, and she could see them all clearly from a distance.

At this time, Biyun saw many aunts coming from the village behind her, each carrying a big basket in their hands.

Biyun twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and said to his master: "This Xu Da moves really fast, someone is here so soon."

Lu Qingqing turned around and looked around. Indeed, someone was dragging his family along with him. The aunt who ran up the fastest saw that it was Lu Qingqing's master and servant.

He quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile on his face: "Mrs. Lu, what the village chief said is true. Is your village really accepting these oysters that no one wants?"

Lu Qingqing smiled, nodded lightly, and repeated her request.

"Don't worry, these aunts will definitely do it clean." Several aunts who came over patted their chests and assured.

Lu Qingqing reminded them to be careful. Some of the rocks were very sharp, so be careful about scratches.

A group of children also shouted to help her pick up the oysters. At this time, Biyun pursed her lips and chuckled and said to them: "If you pick it up seriously, I will collect yours at five coppers per pound later, but be careful, you know ?"

The children cheered, and some shouted that they could buy some food for the family this time, but the food in the tank was all gone.

Some shouted that they could buy new shoes for their mother and sister.

Listening to these children chatting away, no one was thinking about buying something for themselves.

Biyun's nose suddenly became sore and she turned to look at her master.

"What's going on? Biyun is going to cry?" Lu Qingqing didn't know why this maid was acting like this.

She whispered that the days would be long, and if these villagers were really worthy of her help, she would try her best to help them.

Biyun helped her master understand the shouting, and slowly turned her head, seeing that the person running towards them wheezing and panting was Xu Da.
